It looks well but can't work.

My mouse can work on other linux and windows.

Hmmm, I tested my bluetooth mouse on Easy 5.4.3 a few days ago, and it worked.

Try starting bluepup from a terminal to see if any error messages:

Code: Select all

# bluepup

Though, as your photo shows success pairing and connected, it should be working.

If it can help, have the same problem wirh BT5 mouse, my BT3 mouse is ok.

Missing uhid kernel modul perhaps.
Fatdog64 have the same problem with bluetooth mouse BT5, connection looks fine
but don't works. In Fatdogs "Simple Bluetooth Manager" you have an option to load
the "uhid kernel modul " and then bluetooth mouse BT5 works.
In "EasyOS Scarthgap 6.2" the bluetooth mouse BT5 don't works.

Thanks for drawing my attention to this.

Yes, the kernel has "# CONFIG_UHID is not set"
-- see /etc/modules/DOTconfig-6.6.39

The uhid module is supposed to be loaded before the bluez daemon runs.
The easiest way to achieve this is to have it builtin to the kernel, not as a module.

Right, I will compile the latest 6.6.x kernel tonight.

EDIT:
This Gentoo wiki page is a good guide to kernel configuration:

The Fatdog guys have some useful information, see item-5:

OK, I will compile the kernel with uhid, but /etc/bluetooth/input.conf will also need to be edited.

[BarryK]

The fix will be in the next release of EasyOS, see blog post:
